FULL-YEAR COURSES
While certain flexibilities are available, LUOA expects students in full-year courses to complete
their schoolwork within 41 weeks. For students requiring additional time to complete their
schoolwork, a 30-day extension can be requested by completing the Course Extension Request
Form. Extensions will be approved at the discretion of LUOA Academics based on the student’s
progress in the course at the time of the request. If the extension is approved, a fee of $50 per
course will be charged for the first extension, $100 for the second, and $150 for the third (if
extenuating circumstances exist). A new request form must be completed for each extension
beyond the first. LUOA may place student access to coursework on hold until the extension fee is
paid in full. Students not able to complete their coursework in the allotted timeframe will receive an
FN in each applicable course, and credit will not be granted. Parents/guardians/affiliate POCs
should request a course extension at Liberty.edu/Online-Academy/Current-Student-
Resources/#Extension.
Quarter, Enhanced, and dual enrollment courses do not qualify for extensions.
SEMESTER COURSES
LUOA expects students in semester courses to complete their schoolwork within 22 weeks. For
students requiring additional time to complete their schoolwork, a 30-day extension can be
requested by completing the Course Extension Request Form. Extensions will be approved at the
discretion of LUOA Academics based on the student’s progress in the course at the time of the
request. If the extension is approved, a fee of $50 per course will be charged for the first extension,
$100 for the second, and $150 for the third (if extenuating circumstances exist). A new request
form must be completed for each extension beyond the first. LUOA may place student access to
coursework on hold until the extension fee is paid in full. Students not able to complete their
coursework in the allotted timeframe will receive an FN in each applicable course, and credit will
not be granted. Parents/guardians/affiliate POCs should request a course extension at
Liberty.edu/Online-Academy/Current-Student-Resources/#Extension.
Quarter, Enhanced, and dual enrollment courses do not qualify for extensions.
COURSE WITHDRAWAL
Parents/guardians/affiliate POCs must request a course withdrawal from an academic advisor.
If a student has worked no further than Module 1 of any full-year or semester course and the
course withdrawal occurs within the first 30 days of enrollment, the student will be charged for 0
months, but the “W” (“withdrawn”) will show on the transcript.
If a student is no further than 16 weeks from the start date of a semester course, then the course
withdrawal will appear on the transcript as “W” but will not affect the GPA. If a student is further
than 17 weeks or more from the start date of a semester course, then a course withdrawal request
cannot be accepted. The course must be completed, or a final grade of FN (“failure for non-
completion”) will appear on the transcript.
